There is a story told of a little boy digging in the sand near an old gold mine in Southern Madagascar unearthing a bright blue gemstone the color of a swimming pool. There was much excitement as early signs suggested this could be a new source of the Paraiba Blue Tourmaline usually found in Brazil. As it was the gemstones turned out to be Apatite which up to that point was of more interest to collectors than jewelers.
These blue apatites were described as neon or electric and were very close in color to the Paraiba Tourmalines from Brazil which can reach almost astronomical prices due to their stunning beauty and rarity. These newly discovered Apatites matched the color but at a fraction of the price and suddenly the gems world took notice.
Blue Apatite is not aligned with any astrological signs as it is only reasonably new.
Each tumbled stone is hand picked over 2cm.
